We Can All Agree That Kang Is Going To Wipe The Floor With Ant-Man In Quantumania, Right?

I've noticed as the release date for Quantumania approaches, how much I am expecting Ant-Man to get squashed like a bug by Kang, which honestly feels a little weird. I'm trying to think of the last time it seemed like more of a lock that the main character was going to die. Maybe The Titanic dying in the critical hit "Titanic"?

All that teaser clip has done is reinforce my thinking Scott Lang is deader meat than my dog TONEY STARK (RIP), to the point we are getting lines like this in the Twitterverse.

If the Barstool Sportsbook gave me these odds, I would responsibly hammer the shit out of them with Mjolnir and go about my day. In fact, I'll go one step further. I don't just think Scott Lang's dying. I think he's dying MULTIPLE times. I'm talking dozens if not hundreds of deaths like he's Kenny from South Park, thanks to the craziness that can happen now that the multiverse has gone mad, lad.

To be clear, I don't think this would happen to an MCU character like Iron Man, Captain America, or even Scarlet Witch. But Ant-Man has the perfect amount importance (pretty much an Intercontinental Champion instead of a World Champion contender) while Scott Lang has the perfect amount of likability that you could see him getting murdered multiple times like Kenny from South Park in order to put Kang over as the big baddie for this phase while also not taking it too seriously when Paul Rudd's dreamy eyes returned on screen.

Come on, we know that Paul Rudd being a lovable, ageless male witch is part of the reason we have loved him since he was coming on to his stepsister in Clueless, which was 20 years ahead of the trend on porn sites.

Anywayyyyyyy, Ant-Man getting killed not only raises the profile of the MCU's next final boss, but it also would make sense given the weight of this Marvel producer's comments.

As a fellow #GirlDad, I'm not rooting for Scott Lang to be killed, let alone killed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Then killed a bunch more times, potentially by Kang's size 15 boot on this mountain of Ant-Mans (Ant-Men?).

To be honest, there isn't a number of Times Ant-Man Dies In Quantumania that the Barstool Sportsbook could list that I wouldn't bet on. 10. 100. 1000. It's all a (Hulk) smash pick for me, which would lend a little extra gravitas to this badass rendition of Sir Elton's "Yellow Brick Road".

As for the sentimental side of a lovable character getting murdered in front of his daughter a ton of times, I do think it could lead to an interesting story where there's only one Scott Lang left that Cass is searching for after losing her dad to The Snap for five years.

Or I'm completely wrong and there is an entire comic book arc that details exactly what happens. But I feel like these trailers have been giving away way too much of the movie, which means there will be a whole bunch of stuff coming none of us expected, along with Kang running up the score on Ant-Man like Georgia did on TCU (This is Barstool SPORTS after all).

Robbie and I talked much more about Quantumania, the MCU, and all the delicious nerdy movies/TV shows we will be getting in 2023 on My Mom's Basement. So check it out below and see you on the other side of Quantumania in a couple of weeks!
